LOGIN"You don’t trust me?" he repeated my words darkly."I’m sorry. I honestly don’t know if I can," I admitted in a shaky voice.Rowan’s expression only hardened even further. I saw something unfamiliar flicker in his eyes, but before I could identify it, he quickly looked away."Do you want to leave?" Rowan asked after a long moment of silence.His unexpected question sent a jolt running through my body. I stared at Rowan speechlessly when I realized that I didn’t know what I wanted to do.Did I want to leave?I had been thinking about it non-stop, about leaving the mafia world and taking my mother with me. But when the time came for me to answer his question, I couldn’t bring myself to say anything."Do you honestly think that you can simply walk away?" Rowan asked accusingly.His eyes were wild with rage, but I only saw it for a brief moment before his lips came down to claim mine in a punishing kiss. His lips felt so hot on mine as his hands moved to grope my breasts roughly. Rowan wr
I was hiding away in my bedroom one evening, when suddenly someone knocked a little too loudly on my door. My instincts told me that it was Rowan standing on the opposite side of the door. At first, I thought I could pretend I couldn’t hear him, but that only resulted in him banging harder and faster on my bedroom door."I know that you’re in there!" Rowan yelled from the other side of the door.I had no choice but to open the door for him. Rowan looked beside himself as he stood right in front of me. Before I could open my mouth to ask him what he wanted, he pushed past me into my bedroom. I hesitantly closed the door behind me as I turned to face him. I had never seen Rowan look so upset, and I began to wonder what it was that was bothering him so much."What on earth is wrong with you?" Rowan asked me, his voice sharp as he stood with his hands on his hips in the middle of my bedroom. His presence was commanding, but that only made me stand my ground."I don’t know what you’re talk
"You’re right. Sorry to disturb you and Rowan as well. We should catch up over dinner," my mother said before winking at me. "Sure," I replied, although I knew that my mother had no idea just how much we truly needed to catch up over dinner. I glanced at the door that closed behind the two of them after their departure. My heart was aching for my mother because I knew that she just had absolutely no idea. She had no idea what kind of world she had married into. No idea that the man living right by her side and loving her had built an empire on things that most people wouldn’t even dare talk about. She was scared of Lloyd and his violent behavior, and that was when I knew I had to tell her. I couldn’t let her continue living in this illusion while being treated as a fool. No matter how much she loved George, she needed to be told the truth. In fact, because she loved George so much, I felt that my mother deserved to know the truth so that she could decide for herself what she wanted
"It wasn’t all a lie, Annabelle. Nothing between us was a lie," Rowan said as he tried to convince me. I searched his face and the depth of his eyes as if looking for confirmation that I could trust him. However, I realized that trust wasn’t the only issue. I thought that I knew him, but I truly did not know this side of him, and I wasn’t sure that I was ready to. Before I could speak, Rowan’s expression darkened as he stared at me with narrowed eyes. "Stay away from Lloyd. Please don’t make me repeat myself," Rowan warned. "What?" I asked, taken by surprise by his sudden warning. "I’m certain that I told you before that he is dangerous and for you to stay away from him," Rowan pointed out, quite rightfully so. I knew that he was right and that Lloyd had lured me in with the promise of the truth before he boldly tried to take advantage of me. He taunted me and toyed with me, using me as bait just to get under Rowan’s skin. I hated the fact that I had somehow become Rowan’s weakne
My mind felt so disoriented when I finally snapped out of my slumber, and I wondered where I was. I blinked my eyes a couple of times as I tried to focus. Recognition of my surroundings slowly seeped in, and I realized I was in my bedroom inside George’s mansion. I was safe. The warmth of the sheets wrapped around me felt comforting, yet I sensed that something was off. My mind was foggy, but it didn’t take long for the memories to slowly return.The meeting I had with Lloyd in secret. The truth that he revealed about Rowan and his family. The drug in my drink. The dizziness that overwhelmed me, and how Lloyd tried to take advantage of me. And then...Rowan.I gasped as I sat up too quickly, only to be hit by a wave of nausea. I pressed my forehead, steadying myself as I tried to breathe slowly and deeply. I remembered it all now. Lloyd had drugged me, toyed with me, dangling the truth in front of me and treating me like a fool before he tried to take advantage of me. Rowan had come to
Rowan’s eyes traveled from my face before locking onto Lloyd as he took in the situation. His expression darkened even further, and I could see raw, lethal anger flashing across his face. Lloyd barely had any time to react before Rowan was already onto him.Rowan yanked Lloyd away from me, throwing him against the floor so hard that Lloyd let out a scream."What the hell did you do to her?" Rowan yelled.Lloyd shook his head as he let out a laugh. He held up his hands in defense as he slowly got up to his feet."Relax, cousin," he drawled, rolling his shoulders. "You’re acting like I tied her up and held her hostage.""What did you give her? She can’t even sit up, you son of a bitch!" Rowan yelled even louder than before as he grabbed Lloyd by the collar and shoved him back against the wall.I tried to speak, but my throat felt so dry and I could not produce any sound. It took all of my energy to try again until I could squeeze out a few meaningful words from my mouth."He...drugged m
It felt like he was trampling all over me and pointing out the fact that I was struggling to find a new job. Competition was very fierce in the job market, and it was getting quite hard for me to explain why I had suddenly quit my job at my old workplace. Usually, it would have been easier for me to
I enjoyed the warmth of the bath they had prepared as I laid my head back and closed my eyes, letting the water envelop my body. My feet felt sore from wearing high heels for many hours, so soaking in the warm water felt heavenly. I found myself relaxing, affirming my thought that taking a warm bath
His kiss left me in a daze, and it felt like I was losing control of my body as the heat in my core burned even hotter and brighter than before. I could feel a tingling sensation in my pussy as the throbbing intensified. Rowan began massaging my breasts with both of his hands while his lips busied t
"You can be a burden and you can cause as much trouble as you want, and I’ll clean up after you willingly. You’re supposed to be my little sister, right?" he asked as he closed the distance between us again. I realized that there was no room for escape when I felt the hardness of the door against my
